IVDU's and HIV/AIDS in Russia, Central Asia, and Mid-East.....
A politics-free policy and program for highest and hardest hit regions needs to be implemented. Prevalence studies have been gathering dust for over a decade.....Time for Action is Now.

Eric Goosby has been at this since the dark days when there was no cure, no coordination, no international effort, and the stark reality of the collapse of African society was imminent.
I don't know why anyone would question whether we'd stick with this till the corner has been turned on this disease.
The question if we have or not yet kind of went unanswered, but it looks as if that inflection point is fast approaching.
Keep up the good work folks.

With the reauthorization of PEPFAR, funding can now be used for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) programs. The USAID, Hygiene Improvement Project has proven the benefit and necessity of incorporating WASH into HIV/AIDS programs. How can we increase these efforts and incorporate these much needed programs, which are can be offered at a low cost, into the planning process for PEPFAR programming using PEPFAR funding?
